Tropical Beach Wedding – Sanibel Island, Florida { Kelly + Matt }

Image | Posted on June 11, 2015 by Admin

One of the many reasons couples love tropical beach weddings is the exotic tropical flowers and the chance to use bright bold colors. Kelly and Matt colored their tropical wedding royal blue but the pops of bright green orchids nestled with sea shells and starfish really made their Sanibel Island beach wedding at Casa Ybel gorgeous.

Sanibel Island Wedding Video { Vivian + Scott }

Posted on May 7, 2015 by Admin

We recently posted photos from Vivian and Scott’s incredible Sanibel Island wedding at Casa Ybel Resort. We can’t get enough of this tent wedding! On the day of their wedding, it rained all morning and the winds were unusually high, but moments before the ceremony was slated to begin, the rain subsided. This video from MVD really captured the beauty of this couple.

Casa Ybel Resort – Sanibel Island Wedding Venue { Erica + Erik }

Image | Posted on April 30, 2015 by Admin

Sure, Casa Ybel has a beautiful shell strewn beach, but you don’t have to get sand in your shoes to get married here. Erica & Erik opted for a ceremony on our grassy lawn overlooking the Gulf of Mexico and a reception on our Poolside Patio for a nautical style wedding. Of course, who can resist sunset photos on the beach?

Tented Beach Wedding – Sanibel Island, FL { Jennifer + Fred }

Image | Posted on April 16, 2015 by Admin

Fred & Jennifer’s tented beach wedding at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island was one for the ages! Hunter Ryan Photo really captured the spirit of these two and their fun-loving wedding guests. Some of our favorite features: the wine ceremony, the seashell escort cards, the suckling pig (Fred’s favorite, for sure!), the long dinner tables, Jennifer’s wardrobe change into a gold sequin designer gown and the photo booth shenanigans. This much fun couldn’t possibly have been contained indoors. A tent reception on our grassy lawn overlooking the beach was the perfect setting for such a perfect evening.

Tropical Beach Tent Wedding – Sanibel Island, FL { Christina + Samuel }

Image | Posted on March 26, 2015 by Admin

Tropical islands like Sanibel are a big draw for so many engaged couples. Christina & Samuel wanted to host their friends and family in the natural setting of the island and opted for a tented reception on Casa Ybel’s grassy lawn overlooking the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. The result was an authentic Sanibel Island experience: ceremony on the beach with the sound of the waves crashing in the background, al fresco cocktail hour on the lawn and a tented reception with a spectacular view of the ocean and the wildlife that Sanibel treasures.

Tented Beach Wedding – Casa Ybel Resort, Sanibel { Devorah + Jeff }

Image | Posted on March 5, 2015 by Admin

One of the things that makes Casa Ybel Resort so unique is the ability to have an outdoor tented wedding overlooking the beach. The Back Lawn overlooking the Gulf of Mexico is a spectacular setting for Sanibel Island weddings. Devorah and Jeff said their vows under a bamboo chuppah on the beach with the aquamarine ocean as their backdrop. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were served al fresco on the Back Lawn with a rustic chic reception under a tent. The details really made this ocean front beach wedding a sight to see – wine barrel cocktail tables, glitter stitched burlap table linens, chandeliers overhead, and driftwood centerpieces. Perhaps the most memorable features was the entertainment. Stereo Armada by Wiley Entertainment combines DJ mixes with live percussionists for a vibe that keeps the party going all night.

Seaside Tent Wedding – Sanibel Island, FL { Vivian + Scott }

Image | Posted on February 12, 2015 by Admin

There’s something incredibly romantic and timeless about a wedding under a tent on a lawn overlooking the ocean. Vivian and Scott’s Sanibel Island beach wedding was inspired by the party scene in Meet Joe Black. The white and ivory details gave this elegant seaside wedding an air of sophistication. Some of our favorite unique wedding details: signature “blue” cocktails served pre-ceremony, guitarist on the beach, antique furniture and a donut tower! Vivian and Scott donned their wedding attire the following morning and snagged some amazing photos in the morning light.
